    Forward Looking Statement
2
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and 
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this presentation that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including 
statements regarding the significant market opportunity in both polyp and non-polyp CRS populations, whether the majority of patients with CRS are not served by current treatments, our evaluation and investigation of the 
ENLIGHTEN 2 results and how they inform our path forward, our planned regulatory interaction and path for LYR-210, our expectations on the need, size and timing for any pivotal trial for LYR-210, our ability to raise 
money to fund a pivotal trial for LYR-210, our ability to design, implement and complete a new Phase 3 trial, if necessary, our ability to be targeted in our go to market strategy, the expected label for LYR-210, our ability to 
correctly interpret FDA guidance received in December 2024 including on endpoints, inclusion criteria, patient population, background therapy, and assessments, whether LYR-210, if advanced, would be positioned to align 
with current ENT practices, and statements regarding the potential market opportunity for LYR-210. 
These statements are neither promises nor guarantees, but involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company's actual results, performance or achievements to be 
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the following: the fact that the Company has incurred significant 
losses since inception and expects to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future; the Company's need for substantial additional funding, which may not be available, including funding to initiate and complete another 
Phase 3 trial for LYR-210 in CRSsNP, if necessary; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; the failure of our ENLIGHTEN 1 Phase 3 trial to meet its primary endpoint has made it more difficult for the 
Company to raise capital; our loss of personnel from a reduction in force in May 2024 following the failure of our ENLIGHTEN 1 Phase 3 trial to meet its primary endpoint significantly and adversely affects our operations; 
the Company’s limited operating history; the fact that the Company has no approved products; the fact that the Company’s product candidates are in various stages of development; the fact that clinical trial data is subject 
to change until the completion of the applicable clinical study report; the fact that the Company may not be successful in its efforts to identify and successfully commercialize its product candidates; the fact that clinical trials 
required for the Company’s product candidates are expensive and time-consuming, and their outcome is uncertain; the Company’s potential inability to obtain required regulatory approvals; effects of recently enacted and 
future legislation; the possibility of system failures or security breaches; effects of significant competition; the fact that the successful commercialization of the Company’s product candidates will depend in part on the extent 
to which governmental authorities and health insurers establish coverage, adequate reimbursement levels and pricing policies; failure to achieve market acceptance; product liability lawsuits; while we restarted the 
manufacturing of our product candidates internally, we may face delays and challenges in achieving our desired production level, especially with our limited staff; the fact that the Company must scale our in-house 
manufacturing capabilities for the manufacture of materials for its clinical trials and commercial supply; the Company's reliance on third parties to conduct its clinical trials; the Company's inability to succeed in establishing 
and maintaining collaborative relationships; the Company's reliance on certain suppliers critical to its production; failure to obtain and maintain or adequately protect the Company's intellectual property rights; failure to retain 
key personnel or to recruit qualified personnel; difficulties in managing the Company's growth; effects of natural disasters, terrorism, wars and global pandemics; the fact that the price of the Company's common stock may 
be volatile and fluctuate substantially; significant costs and required management time as a result of operating as a public company and any securities class action litigation. These and other important factors discussed 
under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 12, 2025 and its other filings with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated 
by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation. Any such forward-looking statements represent management's estimates as of the date of this presentation. While the Company may elect to update such 
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it disclaims any obligation to do so, even if subsequent events cause its views to change.
This presentation also includes statistical and market data that we obtained from industry, publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties or us. Industry publications and third-party research, 
surveys and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. All of the market data 
used in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. While we believe these industry publications and third-party research, surveys 
and studies are reliable, we have not independently verified such data. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, change and risk due to a variety of factors, which could cause results to 
differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent partners and by us. Neither Lyra’s most advanced product candidate, LYR-210, nor its pipeline product candidate, LYR-220, have been 
approved by FDA. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or 
sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

• ~50% of patients fail topical medical management as a first-line 
therapy, due to sub-optimal delivery and poor compliance
• Xhance, a nasal spray, is not shown to have better clinical 
performance relative to inexpensive, over-the-counter steroid sprays 
• Non-responders referred to sinus surgery, which does not treat the 
underlying cause and requires ongoing medical management
• 65% of surgical patients have recurring CRS, with 20% requiring 
revision surgery
• Given systemic exposure and high cost, reserved for the most 
severe cases (Grade 3-4 nasal polyps, which represent only 27.5% 
of patients(6)) and effective only in patients with Type 2 inflammation

    • ENLIGHTEN 2 study met its primary endpoint
‒ Statistically significant improvement over sham in 3CS at Week 24 in the primary population of CRS patients without 
nasal polyps, with improvement observed as early as Week 8
• Key secondary endpoints of change in 3CS and SNOT-22 in the full study population were also met
‒ Demonstrated statistically significant results in 3CS at Week 24
• Improvement in 3CS observed as early as Week 12 and sustained to Week 24
‒ Demonstrated statistically significant results in SNOT-22 at Week 24
• Improvement in SNOT-22 observed as early as Week 4 and sustained through Week 24
• Clinically meaningful improvement, with almost twice the minimal clinically important difference observed at Week 24 
(-22.4 points)
• Numerical improvement in key secondary endpoint of change in % ethmoid opacification (CT)
• Well tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events reported in the study
• In the pooled ENLIGHTEN 1 and ENLIGHTEN 2 patients with grade 1 nasal polyps, consistent, positive trend in
